TRADEMARK OPPOSITION

BASIC CONCEPT

As per the Trademark Act, 1999, any person can file notice of opposition against a trademark application within a period of four months from the date on which the mark is advertised or re-advertised in the Trademark Journal. After receiving the notice of opposition, the Applicant is required to file Counter Statement to the Registrar within two months.

In cases wherein the Trademark Registrar approves Application for advertisement in the Trademark Journal before registration, any person in the Public is allowed an opportunity to oppose the registration of the mark - if a person or business entity feels that registration of the mark would not be fair, a trademark may be opposed. On filing Trademark Opposition, the Trademark Applicant is required to file a Counter Statement with the Trademark Registrar within 2 months.
